CELEBRATING South African women through music, comedy and drama, the second Women’s Month Festival – Your Voice, Your Stage runs at The Drama Factory from 9 to 20 August. Presented by The Drama Factory and F Creations, the festival highlights female-centric productions, presenting stories created by and performed by women.
Featuring a line-up with something for everyone to enjoy, the programme includes Mike van Graan’s acclaimed satire, He Had It Coming, starring Kim Blanche Adonis; Gail Louw’s arresting play The Good Dad, featuring Erika Breytenbach-Marais; Rocksteady’s Women Of Rock Tribute Show, guaranteed to get you dancing; the delightful physical comedy ‘n Gek Vir Jou performed by Ané Koegelenberg and Christie Van Niekerk; romantic comedy The Authentic Way To Fake It written by Angelica Hattingh and Bianca Rasmussen; and fabulous drag musical, The Muses: Hades Gonna Hate.
“Another highlight on the programme is one performance only by Angel’s Angels,” says festival co-producer Sue Diepeveen. “Angel Campey and her dynamic team of Angels – Mel Jones, Kate Pinchuck and Tumi Mkha – bring their special brand of stand-up comedy to the festival. Catch these astoundingly talented and funny women, as heard on Angel’s Smile 90.4FM drive time show, The Joyride.”
“Our aim for the festival is to promote women working in the arts, as well as give a voice to female stories, honouring the strength and tenacity of women in South Africa. We are also striving to create jobs and income for the arts sector that is still finding its feet after the pandemic,” says festival co-producer, Faeron Wheeler.
